SPORTS: VGK earn 1st road win in Edmonton, Centennial HS use 'Sisu', & UNLV QB stops by

Noah Hanifin scored twice and the Vegas Golden Knights rallied to beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 on Wednesday night, spoiling Connor McDavid's return to the lineup.

Jack Eichel had a goal and two assists and Mark Stone also scored for the Golden Knights (9-3-1), who got their first road win of the season and sixth of their last seven overall. Adin Hill stopped 27 shots.

Brett Kulak and Zach Hyman scored for the Oilers, who have lost two straight. Stuart Skinner had 31 saves.

Golden Knights: With an assist on Vegas' second goal, William Karlsson has recorded at least a point in all five games he has played this season (two goals, four assists).

Oilers: McDavid was a surprise starter for the Oilers, coming back just nine days after suffering an ankle injury in Columbus and initially being expected to miss two to three weeks. The star forward came into the contest with 11 points (three goals, eight assists) during a six-game point streak versus the Golden Knights, but was held without a point.

Key moment

With just 48.4 seconds left to play, the Golden Knights won a race to the corner and Ivan Barbashev was able to send it out to a hard-charging Hanifin, who sent a shot glove-side that beat Skinner for his second goal of the third period and third of the season.

News 3's Jesse Merrick explains how a Finnish action thriller helped the Centennial Bulldogs rally from an 0-4 start to their season and finish as the 5A Division III Southern League champs on their quest to win back-to-back state championships in a new classification.

The QB that's made UNLV faithful forget about departed QB Matthew Sluka. Hajj-Malik Williams transferred from Campbell to UNLV and has produced in a big way. Leading the Rebels to their second-straight bowl-eligible season for the first time in school history.

Williams has been so productive that he is the frontrunner for the Conference Quarterback of the Year and he's one of 35 QBs to be named to the Davey O'Brien watch list.

Williams sat down with me to chat about his transition from a small D-1 program like Campbell in North Carolina to UNLV in Las Vegas, what it's like being the QB for UNLV in a city like Las Vegas, the experience of playing in UNLV's most-attended game ever and much, much more.
